The New York and Philadelphia government plants submitted esti mates of less than $7,000,000 each for ships propelled with the com bination steam and electric drive to be used In the new superdread- naugbt now building at the New York yard. These were the lowest bids, and the same yards also sub mitted the lowest figures for ships equipped with steam turbines, the basis of all but one of the private bids. The Mare Island navy yard with an estimate of $7,413,156 for the tublne ship was next lowest. The I.oweet Bid. Th lowest private bid was that of th Fore River Shipbuilding company, whloh submitted four alternate proposals. Each was made under stipulated modifications to the department's specifications, which apparently would bring the total cost far above the $7,800,000 maximum. The bids of th other two private bidders, th New Tork Shipbuilding company and the New port New Shipbuilding company, slso proposed modifications, and a careful study will be necessary before th exact cost of the ship can bo determined under each bid. The result of th Kuropean war's de mands on American markets Is shown by th fact that th hulls and machinery of th new battleship Mississippi and Idaho were contracted for at 17,115,000 and $7,X0. 000 respectively, a year ago, while today's private bids for virtually Identical ships ranged from r7.229.000 to 17,775,000. with va rious qualifications, such as stipulations that the government must assume all In surance charges, pay for test trial and supply much portable material required to be furnished by the contractors In ths advertised specifications, and providing for the substitution of cheaper grade of steel and timber than specified.
